Have you considered using the new SPDX ids instead of this fine legalese?
e.g.:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0
// Copyright (C) 2005-2017 Andes Technology Corporation

This is much shorter and neater (unless you are a legalese lover of course!)

Check also Thomas doc patches and Linus comments on why he prefers the
C++ comment style for these.
